>Description:
The vm system is still shaky, sometimes the system hangs, sometimes
processes hang.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try the command
tar zxvf file.tar.gz
Nothing happens. If you interrupt it and do a ps you see:
371 392 1 0 -18 0 296 104 thrd_s D p4 0:00.01 tar zxvf file.tar.gz
>Fix:

before the first object collapse changes were made and then wait
until things start working again.
